This amendment provides 7.5 million in fiscal year 2018 from federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant for community employment and training programs, of which $2.0 million is directed at grants to Employment Services Organizations (ESOs). Funds will be allocated to qualifying programs through a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Social Services which sets out performance measures and outcomes such as number of participants, number of participants hired into employment, number of unique employers hiring individuals through the programs and the average starting salary of participants hired among others. In addition, funding is contingent upon local match of at least 25%, including in-kind services. Language requires community programs and ESOs to report on program performance and outcome measures contained in the memorandum of understanding with the Department of Social Services. A report on the implementation of the programs and performance and outcome measure is required by June 1, 2018 to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committees.
